Legal Aid Action

9th April 2018

Following the new AGFS coming into force on 1st April 2018, members of the crime group at 3PB have decided that they will not accept instructions in cases in which the representation order is dated from 1st April 2018.  We have taken this difficult decision in order to support our fellow professionals in the latest stage of the constant fight to maintain and uphold the highest standards in the Criminal Justice System and at the independent bar.  We expect that other sets on the Western Circuit and nationally will adopt a similar position.

We will keep our position under review.
